[Anime Review] Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion S1

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion S1

"Instantly fall in love with the series from the beginning" -bezoe

After the invasion of Japan by the Brittannian Empire, the country is renamed to "Area 11". The young Lelouch, a Brittannian student living in Japan, accidentally gets caught up in a local terrorist attack against Brittannia, reuniting with his childhood friend Suzaku as well as meeting the mysterious girl C.C. Cornered in a life and death situation, Lelouch accepts a power C.C. offers to him, the ability to order anyone to do anything. Harboring a thirst for revenge against the Brittanian Empire for their actions against his family, Lelouch wages war against the Empire. Using his newfound power and tactical ability, Lelouch goes under the alias Zero in attempts to fulfill his childhood vow, to destroy Brittannia! - myanimelist

Story of Code Geass is one of the strong point beside the animation and the characters design. I like the story of the clash between Britannia and Rebel that lead by Zero, and the way that Zero command his rebel army to fight againts the Britannian. Not only that, I also like the back story of what is the purpose of Zero doing this beside destroying Britania. From start till the end of the season, I really got hooked up with this anime.

Character design, I like Clamp's character style (especially Magic Knight RayEarth) for Code Geass (Even though probably the character was waaay too skinny for a real human, but all of the character design looks superb). The Mecha design probably not the greatest, but its fit the purpose

Code Geass animation was really nice for a tv series. Its not choppy, and well made. The battle scene was really good and the special effect also pretty much "A" quality

I love the 1st OP ost, 1st ED, and 2nd ED for 1st season. I hope the 2nd season have a good music aswell (as I'm probably going to start watch the 2nd season this upcoming week)

Bottom Line: You love Mecha? then you definitely need to see this

Overall Rating: A- (The only reason I gave it A- because of the ending... its unfinished and I think it will carry to the 2nd season)

Favorite Characters:
#1. C.C (yum... Pizza)



















#2. Kallen Kozuki / Stadtfeld (Tough Girl? hell yes!)

















#3. Villetta Nu (look at those hair and eyes)






















#4. Cécile Croomy (she is actually pretty cute)
